Make no mistake because
they dress differently, perhaps even look harmless, and some of them
even smile at you while they offer you feigned comfort. Abusive
guardians/conservators are nothing more than pirates - stealing freedom, lives,
and entire estates. They claim to provide protection as
they help themselves to their Ward's hard-earned savings, homes, personal property, and anything of value the Ward owns.
The pirates masquerade
wearing different costumes:

| Professional
guardianship/conservatorship companies; |
| Public
guardians/conservators; |
| Attorneys; |
| Charities; |
| Banks; |
| Relatives. |
They invade our lives through many avenues:
| ● |
A lawyer may recommend a guardianship/conservatorship to "resolve" a family dispute; |
| ● |
A nursing home may file guardianship/conservatorship proceedings; |
| ● |
A hospital may file for guardianship/conservatorship; |
| ● |
A doctor may recommend a guardianship/conservatorship; |
| ● |
A social worker may recommend a guardianship/conservatorship; |
| ● |
An ombudsman may recommend a guardianship/ conservatorship; |
| ● |
A bank may report irregular bank account activity; |
| ● |
A sudden injury (accident, illness); |
| ● |
A well-meaning neighbor may call
Adult Protective Services; |
| ● |
Greedy relatives want to control the estate for
themselves. |
However the pirates gain unwanted entry into our lives, the motive and
the result are the same: they want - and they will get - the treasure.
Sometimes, they get
not only the treasure, but the power of life and death over our treasured loved ones.
